40 But he said to me, 'YHVH, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son from my kindred and from my father's house;
41 then you will be free from my oath, when you come to my kindred; and if they will not give her to you, you will be free from my oath.'
42 "I came today to the spring, and said, 'O YHVH, God of my Lord Abraham, if now thou wilt prosper the way which I go,
43 behold, I am standing by the spring of water; let the young woman who comes out to draw, to whom I shall say, "Pray give me a little water from your jar to drink,"
44 and who will say to me, "Drink, and I will draw for your camels also," let her be the woman whom YHVH has appointed for my master's son.'
45 "Before I had done speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her water jar on her shoulder; and she went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, 'Pray let me drink.'
46 She quickly let down her jar from her shoulder, and said, 'Drink, and I will give your camels drink also.' So I drank, and she gave the camels drink also.
47 Then I asked her, 'Whose daughter are you?' She said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' So I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her arms.
48 Then I bowed my head and worshiped YHVH, and blessed YHVH, the God of my Lord Abraham, who had led me by the right way to take the daughter of my Lord's kinsman for his son.
49 Now then, if you will deal loyally and truly with my master, tell me; and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand or to the left."
50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered, "The thing comes from YHVH; we cannot speak to you bad or good.
51 Behold, Rebekah is before you, take her and go, and let her be the wife of your master's son, as YHVH has spoken."
52 When Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself to the Earth before YHVH.
53 And the servant brought forth jewelry of silver and of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave to her brother and to her mother costly ornaments.
54 And he and the men who were with him ate and drank, and they spent the night there. When they arose in the morning, he said, "Send me back to my master."
55 Her brother and her mother said, "Let the maiden remain with us a while, at least ten days; after that she may go."
56 But he said to them, "Do not delay me, since YHVH has prospered my way; let me go that I may go to my master."
57 They said, "We will call the maiden, and ask her."
58 And they called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" She said, "I will go."
59 So they sent away Rebekah their sister and her nurse, and Abraham's servant and his men.
60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said to her, "Our sister, be the mother of thousands of ten thousands; and may your descendants possess the gate of those who hate them!"
Through the inherent love of the harmonious thousands are blessed and many hearts of "hate" are directed into other channels of expression ("let thy seed possess the gate of those that hate them").
61 Then Rebekah and her maids arose, and rode upon the camels and followed the man; thus the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
62 Now Isaac had come from Beerlahairoi, and was dwelling in the Negeb.
The servant (personal Ego) guided Rebekah into Beerlahairoi, in the "land of the South" (the subconscious), where Isaac dwelt. Negeb means “dry” or “parched”, and symbolizes the part of the mind that is in need of enlightenment and thirsts for it. Joy is strengthened by seeking and uniting with high spiritual ideals (Rebekah). This seeking is what is meant by Isaac, "dwelling in the Negeb".
63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening; and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, there were camels coming.
64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she alighted from the camel,
65 and said to the servant, "Who is the man yonder, walking in the field to meet us?" The servant said, "It is my master." So she took her veil and covered herself.
The happy Isaac consciousness claimed its counterpart in Rebekah. Faith and obedience (Abraham) bring forth joy, and joy (Isaac) is linked with the beauty of nature without. The devout, joyous soul readily makes union with the natural, harmonious expression of Spirit, and in the joy of spiritual realization the thoughts are lifted up in exaltation and praise. "And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw . . . And Rebekah lifted up her eyes . . . and he loved her." Thus is portrayed the union of the devout, joyous nature with the soul of love. The joyous soul, when established in spiritual faith and poise, is screened from contact with inharmonious energies: "and she took her veil, and covered herself."
66 And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
67 Then Isaac brought her into the tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
This signifies that the soul powers symbolized by Isaac and Rebekah are ever penetrating into the physical, here represented by the tent.
